Sugar is a carbohydrate. Sugar is a source of energy in the body and is a structural component of the cells. For example, d-ribose, a form of sugar is a building block of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a nucleotide produced by the body for energy release. Most people recognize sugar as a white crystalline substance used as a sweetener in food and drink. However, sugar is a 'loose term' and refers to a collection of different types of carbohydrates - not just white refined sugar so prevalent in the western diet.
​
​There are two main categories of sugar: simple and complex.
Simple sugars are a basic form of carbohydrate. 'Simple' refers to the sugar molecules structural formation. Simple sugars belong to one of two categories: monosaccharides and disaccharides. Saccharides are a group of carbohydrates which include starches and sugars.​
​
The blue weber agave plant produces a natural fructose, sometimes known as fruit sugar, which exists naturally in fruits and honey as a single unit of fructose. It exists naturally in insulin as a long chain of fructose molecules linked together, similar to the glucose chains in starch. Insulin is also found in a variety of vegetables like carrots, garlic, chicory, Jerusalem artichoke and agave.

Complex Sugars occurs When many, many molecules of single sugar monomers, such as glucose, attach into long chains of repeating molecules--this chain is called a polymer(poly=many, mer=parts); because it is composed of sugar molecules, it is called a "polysaccharide" and nutritionists call such polysaccharides "complex carbohydrates".
Common types of complex sugars or polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, cellulose, chitin

However, the mechanisms implicated on the positive effects of agavins on health, must be done under well-controlled studies, rigorously and carefully performed.
